windows, air all their clothes and their
room daily, eat simple, wholesome
food, wear boncless waists and button
their skirts on them and take the heels
off their boots.
To purify room. set q pitcher Of
water in the apartment, and in q few
hours it will have absorbed all the re.
spircd gases in the room, the air Of
which will have become purer, but the
water utterly filthy. The colder the
water is the greater the capacity to
contain these gases. AT the ordinary
temperature pail of water will Absorb
pint of carbonic acid gas and several
pints of ammonia. The capacity is
nearly doubled by reducing the water
to the temperature of ice. Hence
water kept in a room for while is
unfit for use.
